Want to backup your favorite NSFW Creative Writing stories? Here's the complete workflow:
Step 1: Gather Links
- Start with the comprehensive link collection from Cyb3rNexus's GitHub Gist – it already contains hundreds of pre-filtered thread links!
- For more recent stories, navigate to NSFW Creative Writing
- Use Link Gopher browser extension to extract all links from paginated results
- Combine both sources and save all links into
qq_links.txt
Step 2: Filter Thread Links
Create filter_qq_links.py with the Python script above, then run:
python filter_qq_links.py
This extracts only valid thread links (matching /threads/ pattern) into filtered_links.txt
Step 3: Download with Fichub
# Install fichub-cli
pip install -U fichub-cli
# Download all fics
fichub_cli -i filtered_links.txt -o "/home/user/downloads/QQ"
That's it! All stories will be downloaded as EPUB files to your specified folder. Happy reading!
